a Configure a set of attributes for the new IKE policy:
Sequence Number
Define the sequence number for the IKE policy. The available range is
from 1 to 10,000 with 1 being the highest priority value.
Encryption
Set the encryption method used to protect the data transmitted between
peers. Options include:
•
DES 56-bit DES-CBC
. The default value.
•
3DES
- 168-bit Triple DES.
•
AES
- 128-bit AES.
•
AES 192
- 192-bit AES.
•
AES 256
- 256-bit AES.
Hash Value
Define the hash algorithm used to ensure data integrity. The hash value
validates a packet comes from its intended source and has not been
modified in transit. Options include:
•
SHA
- The default value.
•
MD5
- MD5 has a smaller digest and is somewhat faster than SHA-1.
Authentication Type
Set the authentication scheme used to validate the identity of each peer.
Pre-shared keys do not scale accurately with a growing network but are
easier to maintain in a small network. Options include:
•
Pre-shared Key
- Uses pre-shared keys.
•
RSA Signature
- Uses a digital certificate with keys generated by the
RSA signatures algorithm.
